What Is School Suicide Prevention?

School Suicide Prevention is a foundational element of suicide prevention and crisis intervention. It involves preventing suicide through awareness education, crisis intervention, gatekeeper training, postvention support, and building community-wide safety nets that identify and support individuals at risk. Understanding school suicide prevention is essential for individuals, families, and communities seeking healing, restoration, and lasting positive change.

Why It Matters
